Both of th-e se 1nen a1re imbued' with a certain protective ain d fartherly lorve for tw'~OI young girl~s. Adam was fiHed 'vith lorve for Hetrty principaHy on a:c count of her weakness and childishness. H~, pereeiving the contra,s t between her h~lplessness and his own ";nondtei~ful firintl!ess and 1nanly stren~gith, yearned to de-w)fte his life to the love and protection· of thi~ wewk young g1ir l ag1w inst the trials,, .snares,, and 'S'or~ro-w-s of life.

Pegg1otty W3Js not as well €duc:art,ed as Adtam and so his lave for h~s p1•etty little niece w~as for him inexpressible.

H·i s broad chest heaves with pleasUJre.

T'H E· JUNIORS. The indications for a suece.s:s.ful year in baseball have already begun to show them.sel ves on the Junior dia1nond. At the clo!Ste orf every d'ay's practice new perfecthHlS; have been a,c quired eithet~ in ba,t ting, bunting or ba.se running. Perhap·s one of the 1nost notable fea.tures: about the squad is. the interest which every plaryer di.spla(YSI in perfonning his dhtmond ro·le. T'he Junior coatc h des;erves. 1TI1Uch credit for the 1nanner in ·which he has brought to light the best that is in his n1en and of organizing v·n e of the be'St 1n·a chines which ha1s operated on the Junior field.

tial entr~anc'e alllld will ·surely prove hhnself an able keeper. L.

Riehe:ct at short promises to give the Junior fruns a good exhiibtion of big league planning. And Gartlwnd at third 1nakes :a splendid "custom house officer" for . all those who prus.s· his .way miUst .shorw ''rhat they ha'Ve before reaching home. In the outer gardens vvill be see;n "Pats~" 1 lV]ort.e ll, "Red" M:c Gee., an:dJ "Dalllny" Keliher. They nerver leave· the gras1s. gTow· wnder their foot :and,·· mtlillY· a ·. f~nZ&~ forn d · hope is blasted when the ball c-omes into their t.e rrit0ry. Much succesis to you Juniors. Fulfill th.a t whi·ch is promising and Y'OU 'vill .rudd to your lruurels that which will never fade nor die. T1he second terum under able direction of Ca1pt. Shea. is also a hummer, a,s their mailly c:onte1srt.s with the :firsrt s1quad will ·prove. Thh:; valuable 'vork is certadnly apprecia.t ed· arnd their haJ~d earned vict0ry will be long remertnbered. THEI l\1,INIM8.

Tb.e Minilns are upholding their proud record as the best team of t.heir .size in the state by defea1ting all cmners. The supp01sedly champion St. Philip's :J)1inims from Chicago were hu1nbled by the locals to the aecoinpa,n imie nt of 6-3. Tb.e lit~ tle fellows were evenly InaJtehed and the coaching~ of ·M,cDunald ·was clearly seen in the alble and big leaig ue style, in which the Nlinjmrs ha,n dled them:s elves. . D:m.ndurand the "peroxide blonde" pitched in his uSiUal .unhitta1ble n11a1ntn er, getting nine by the 'vhiff route and allo·w ing but two passes. H·e has! the happy fa1culty of having a;n iron all'm and is as .s trong at the final S!purt as in the opener. Oapt.. Pepin covered :first to t.h e uhn.ost delight of the f:atns~, pulling therrn out of both the stars and earth, and directing the te1a rm well. Tb.e Mjnim·sr a.lso hit when hits 'vere needed, and also squeezed n1any a1 run a,eros.s by the bunt pr.o.ceSJs', at which the youngster'S are experts. Pepin and Senesa.c clouted out double heaidei~s. in the sixth and put the ~ame behind lock a.nd key. The Minims. pro·m ise to continue their exceillen.t re.e ord a1n d will undoubtedly come, out on t10p in the 1na.ny s1truggles arranged for then1. Lineup: Dillon, L. F.; D. Bo~le, R·.
